    Earbuds and wind noise

    Modled custom earphones sound great, no pun intended! Did anybody of you try them on a bicycle and how's the prospect of making them aero to avoid turbulence? Going to look into that idea- thanks Pulsar!

    Earbuds and wind noise

    Tomjasz, how's this for a quote "I realise Cat-Ears / Wind-blox stuff can help"? You even bothered to post a monkey pic. Probably took you longer than it would to simply read the OP. To all others, thanks for your help. I often ride without my helmet, so was hoping for something not requiring...

    Earbuds and wind noise

    While I appreciate all your input, I would like to remind everybody Cat Ears were already mentioned in my OP. Also please note that earplugs isn't compatible with listening to podcasts. (Back when I owned a motorcycle I always used earplugs and simply blasted the in-helmet speakers to...

    Earbuds and wind noise

    Oh, I forgot, but my ear canals react poorly to any earphones designed with a tip sticking in. Not to mention those in-ear earphones quickly turn disgusting from ear wax, or is it just my orch ancestry?

    I hear you. You're not wrong. And yes, I'm searching for a frame without components. Annoys me that I can buy a mid drive MTB frame for whichever motor and fork, but not a commuter. The motors are all sold on ebay.de : Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha, Brose, Fazua all one click away.

    DIY commuter frameset

    At the same time, my unicorn is steadily inching itself into mainstream cycling dreams. More and more brand churn out precisely the bike I'm after. Just look at the success of R&M and the rest of the german field of S-pedelec high-end randonneur-type bikes that unabashedly pamper highly paid...

    DIY commuter frameset

    While I appreciate your input, none of your suggestions came even close. Those bikes are totally different concepts, use Bafang motors or no motor at all, lack front suspension ... I could go on. I'm grateful for the Allotec link!

    DIY commuter frameset

    Thanks for your reply. However, those are more or less complete bicycles. I seek a frameset. Wheels and stuff I build myself.

    DIY commuter frameset

    Hello fellow cyclists, I would like to build my own e-bike but the google up the mountain quickly threw monkey wrenches my way. Sourcing a frame turned out to be a formidable stumble block. My current setup is a very sturdy Lynskey Backroad touring frankenbike with a BBS02. The wide q have...
